Making Crop Circles
[?]
Submitted by Knocking from Inside Blog
Surely it’s a harmless pastime. True,
some sprouting grain is trampled and destroyed
and farmers bear the cost: so they’re annoyed
by crop-circles. It just takes a few
yards of good string, some stakes and boards, some glue.
Next day, the credulous are overjoyed,
claim proof of life in interstellar voids
or ley-lines diagrammed for public view.
Controversy can be entertaining,
circle-making’s fun when it’s not raining,
but be careful of the farmer’s rights:
don’t break down a fence or damage fields,
pick a crop that’s given up its yield
or find a better way to spend your nights.
